Subject: [PATCH 4.19 6/9] vc_screen: dont clobber return value in vcs_read
Date: Wed,  1 Mar 2023 19:07:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230301180650.648484787@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230301180650.395562988@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

commit ae3419fbac845b4d3f3a9fae4cc80c68d82cdf6e upstream.

Commit 226fae124b2d ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in
vcs_read() to avoid UAF") moved the call to vcs_vc() into the loop.

While doing this it also moved the unconditional assignment of

	ret = -ENXIO;

This unconditional assignment was valid outside the loop but within it
it clobbers the actual value of ret.

To avoid this only assign "ret = -ENXIO" when actually needed.

[ Also, the 'goto unlock_out" needs to be just a "break", so that it
  does the right thing when it exits on later iterations when partial
  success has happened - Linus ]
